He is a brilliant radio guy.....never claimed to be a politician. How nice of you to take the usual LOW road in your comments....Ol faithful! Whatever Limbaugh is...he definately pushes the right buttons! LOL

its amazing to watch a real orator. no telepromter, no script.
if you listen to the media Obama is the greatest speaker in history, when the reality is he's only a speech reader, with his eyes glued to the teleprompter the entire time.

Limbaugh does it with half his brain tied behind his back!

So you are begging for Clinton back.
Excellent. Clinton could tie Limbaugh in
knots because he actually has a grasp of
the facts. Can twist them anyway he wants.

And Monica had a grasp of his fact.

as time goes on, my opinion of Clinton is inching upward.
i thought he was a bad example in terms of his personal conduct, but he was fairly centrist and not a bad leader. actually with the republican congress there was some check and balance also.

what we have now is a disaster, all past presidents are elevated in stature due to the current radical.

A brilliant liar.
He did get pushed by the Rep. but it was his idea
to push people off the welfare roll and keep closing
the unecessary military bases, both of which were
wasteful.

I think this period right now is a huge test for the President. Every extreme right-winger is trying to paint him as a Communist. That's normal, and he can't lash out, and sink to their level. He has to stick to holding his side, and enough of the middle. The nuts can circle jerk themselves raw (if it makes them feel better.) The reason he got elected is below in the red print. The blue print is the trap that he avoided in the election, and he needs to keep avoiding it. He needs to simply throw enough moderate bait in the water. He's good at it, and it takes remarkably small amounts, because the other side wants to keep giving tax breaks to the rich(also de-regulating business,) and spending money on wars that can't be finished. That isn't enticing to the middle(at all.)


“Obama has demonstrated a laudatory levelheadedness - the ability to keep his head while those around him were losing theirs - over the long haul of the '08 campaign, always presenting a cool and unruffled image. And it has served him well… Being likable is obviously a good thing in politics… But the last seven-plus years demand more than a detached analysis - and certainly more than a beaming smile. They demand indignation. Outrage. Fury… As a leader fighting for fundamental change in this country, Obama has to be willing to show us that kind of righteous anger… Obama clearly has it in him. We saw a flash of it in Denver when he announced: "Enough!"-Ariana Huffn'puff

There's one guy on the right that has the personality necessary to get elected President. When he gets serious(and is managed in a more centrist way,) he has a shot in the future. Any Conservative that can sit down n' have a civil conversation with Jerry Springer has the skills to be dangerous at getting the middle. Helps that he can play the bass, too. He's the only one I fear on that side(even a little.)

Like most trainers, you can sell well, but I can't see how wearing that Cleveland Indians baseball cap everywhere would work out. You're maybe not as sleek as you once were. I think you could win Tennessee.

You guys are so desperate for someone to tell you what to think that you've gone to view Limbaugh as some sort of voice of reason. He's a radio personality. I love The Howard Stern Show, but wouldn't it be a bit ridiculous to lean on him for my political views? To each his own I guess.....

...this is the sound of me not listening to your babble.....disconnect...
